is it just me or do all these "vert bros" train really good now?? isaiah rivera, j kilganon, etc do lots of familiar stuff that we respect on here.. and now their followers/other ridiculous leapers train similarly. the days of gimmick lame vert training seem to be nearly gone.. it's weird but i do think we had a big part in that. i know both of those two i mentioned, learned a lot on here.. but beyond that they have pushed themselves using very intense training/effective methods, found their own ideal programming, reached an elite level, and shared a lot of that effective training with the next generations.. the vert/dunk world is insane right now.
and people actually show up just to watch people do vertec style jumping (vertecs, bells etc) max vert competitions.. i mean wtf.. it's amazing. love it.
lmao. fun times
the higher volume ones i'd do on the soccer/futbol fields. up and back 100 yards etc. i forget the counts but i'd do like 5+ up and backs. the initial soreness from those was pretty ridiculous ... and then the adaptation, legs felt bionic.. was kind of astonishing. i never seemed to be able to keep it up for more than a few weeks. i feel like that stuff had some weird long term benefits, mental and physical.
that stuff makes hamstrings/glutes/quads feel like you're on a different planet or becoming some other life form. potential rapid adaptations but almost too difficult to sustain lol.
dno
yeah. loved it. got more road trips planned.. farm life def gets in the way tho.. went from like 2 dependencies (dogs) to 100 (dogs + goats/chickens/ducks/turkeys/quail)
just fixed my truck to try and road trip it.. one of my big lifted gas guzzler ones. i do feel like i could road trip it. that thing always amazes me.. nearly all spark plugs were cooked but it could still drive decent .. rough but decent. changed plugs/coils and some other stuff, thing just drove like a bugatti. prolly has close to 200k miles on it but can't really tell anymore.
one time i figured i'd have some place do an oil change and a few things to it.. give myself a break. drove it like a month and finally realized they only put a quart of oil in it.. somehow it didn't die. they used to make stuff built to last
that's one of many reasons i try to do everything myself first. i've had so many bad experiences with stuff like that.
also just came within 20 yards of a full size bobcat, about a half hour ago. saw it lurking in the back, went out to see what it was up to.

not just advocating for but doing, IIRC!
yeah pretty sure there was a timelapse video of the 1000 lunges on a basketball court. i remember doing the 1000 lunges once myself as well lol. good times.
eta: guess i was thinking of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiXO7trtqes
